God's Vision

The vision God gave to us when we prepared to embark upon this journey of church planting was specific and clear in every respect. And it has been that vision which was burned clearly into our hearts that we pursue for the glory of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ the Messiah of God!

In our life time we have witnessed the movement of God’s Spirit during different seasons of life in His church in America. With each move of God’s Spirit we have observed certain and specific themes. It is clear that God has been systematically restoring His church. Since the time of the first reformation, God has worked consistently to restore what was lost during the dark ages.

Recent themes during the last 30 years have included 1) The return of passionate worship; 2) A renewed focus on signs and wonders; 3) A call to intercession, spiritual warfare and to minister deliverance to the oppressed; 4) A renewed vision for effective evangelism & discipleship; 5) The reaffirmation of the importance of Faith; 6)An explosion of Cell based/Small Group ministry; 7) An embracing of leadership development and organizational theory. And in more recent years we have witnessed the restoration of the prophetic and apostolic offices that complete the Ephesians 4 model of leadership in the church.

Most churches today fall into several major categories. You have social Gospel churches that focus on meeting the needs of the poor, or Evangelical churches that focus upon teaching and discipleship, or Charismatic churches that focus upon worship & the miraculous, or Cell based churches.

When we received that vision from God, His plan was clear, “I want you to take the best pieces of all these movements and bring them together in one balanced whole.” CCAV is to be a church that pursues the manifestation of God’s glory in the earth through His church and see it accomplished with balance and fullness under the guidance of the Holy Spirit’s Leadership. The information available on our website describe this balanced model and how God is leading us to implement the vision He is birthing here South in Orange County. We want to commit our lives in yielding to God’s Wonderful Purpose. We believe that God’s house is to be a Glorious House where His people, who together form a Holy temple in which His Glory may be manifested, declare with faith, “Your Kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.”

God is building His house upon the foundation of His Word with a fresh anointing of His Holy Spirit for this new millenium. There is a new movement of God that we choose to unite our hearts and energies with, believing that the days are short and the harvest is great. We commit our lives to the values that we believe God has birthed into our hearts through years of seeking and ministry. We say, “God Build Your House!”
